On April 9, 2020, Chile became the first Latin American country to submit an updated NDC. This is a strong political signal as it demonstrates Chile's commitment to the Paris Agreement despite the domestic social unrest and the difficulties posed by COVID 19.

According to the Checklist for the NDCs We Want and taking into account that Chile is a middle-income country with a relatively low emissions profile, the Chilean NDC can be rated as an NDC that has a short way to go to become the NDC We Want.
